FWIW, an idea that has floated around the back of my mind is some kind of
matrix-based scoring, where points for a Q vary by (your zone), (other zone),
(band) based on some kind of degree of difficulty, as measured by prior years'
logs, and perhaps allowing for such mechanics as the same Q having different
point values for the stations involved.
Zone 14 to zone 15 on 20 or 40m? That's 1 point.
Zone 1 to zone 39 on 160m? That's 100 points.
It still wouldn't be a level playing field, for reasons that have been
discussed previously, ad nauseam. But it could be a variation that could lead
to some interesting strategic considerations.
